I took care of that years ago. Right after we got married I sold a large Winchester collection. Bought a house. Then said..when I start to buy guns again..just remember. She said something one time and I just pointed at the farm..we had upgraded the house to another house to a small farm and only owed about 3000 bucks. Shut her mouth and hasn't said a thing since. Those 63 Winchester guns I sold appreciated into a small ranch in Wyoming and a fair to middlin nest aig of cash(that Nobama wants to take). She doesn't have to work any more and she is a happy camper most of the time. I don't say anything about what she buys either..even if she has waaayyy too many shoes!
Oh BTW at the time we only owed bout 3 grand on the farm..I bought another one at a farm auction. She almost had a stroke when I started bidding on the place. When our banker told me we made a great buy at the end of the auction..she was incredulous.specially when I told him I'd be in to sign all the necessary papers the next day(I had borrowed the money just before they started the auction...banking as it should be). We paid for that place in under 3 years. So momma don't say much of anything..about guns and such anyway. Now the old cars and trucks..different story. One of these days I'm gonna sell the other farm back east..or move to it if'n she gets cranky!!
